Harbor/Mooring Harbor Defense Concept
Abstract
The long-term goal of this work is an integrated defense system that provides protection of Navy assets, while in port, from the threat posed by covert swimmers. The general concept is to hail, deter, and/or incapacitate the threat by directing a controlled level of low-frequency acoustic energy at the target location. At the system level, the concept requires combining elements of target detection, classification, and tracking, localized fire control to direct acoustic energy using emplaced acoustic sources, and sources capable of delivering energy commensurate with the extant defense requirements
